<p>Would someone mind taking a look at <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82216">#82216</a>? The CI for the time crate failed due to the solaris target no longer existing (not just being deprecated as the PR apparently does). I tried to add the target locally and received the same result. I _think_ the target was inadvertently deleted at some point, but that's the most relevant PR I could find.</p>

<p>That seems like a pretty big mistake, to be honest. I regularly read release notes, but this demotion wasn't even mentioned in the release notes.</p>
<p>As a result of this change there's no trivial way to check this in CI across a range of versions, as I have operated on the assumption that targets will be around for a bit. The only reasonable thing for me to do is to outright _drop_ the checking of Solaris/Illumos, which is a net loss for everyone.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="245610">@Jacob Pratt</span> please file an issue, it is on my list of things to investigate, I agree that it should have at least been mentioned; depending on exactly why/how it was dropped, I think we should be able to fix that, perhaps in the point release.</p>
